This week, I’m joined by my dear friend and Sidetracked co-host, Heather MacFadyen. We’re talking all things summer—from the ADHD interventions I swear she’s staging, to her full-on Enneagram 4 vibes. We laugh, we cry (okay, not really), and we keep it super honest.
But we also get into the deeper stuff—the lessons we’ve both learned this past year and the surprising ways God shows up in the ordinary, often overlooked moments. Heather shares how heartache has a way of rewriting our theology… while somehow also confirming everything we’ve believed all along.
We talk about hope, parenting, trusting God to show up right on time (and not a minute earlier), and how grief doesn’t get to cancel our hope.
So if you’re parenting through a hard season, needing a reminder that God still has good plans for you, or just trying to survive summer break with all the snacks and your sanity intact—this one’s for you.
Oh, if you need even more laughter and even less structure (if that’s possible), check out our other podcast, Sidetracked, where we talk every other week about everything and absolutely nothing.
